So for my birthday last year my family actually did a nice walk at Mathison State Park, Utica. Usually I dont do things for my birthday but it was such a nice day out and I desided it would have been fun. This place is just abosolutely beautiful. Its a good walk through the whole place but definately well worth it. Its kind of like a Starved Rock but 100xs better.

The nice place about this is not only do you walk along the trails but there are stairways that go down to a lower level and you can walk on stepping stones through creeks. It was so much fun. There was one area where you gotta kinda walk through this little creek, not to deep, but when you get across it there was this big waterfall. So me and my sister were watching the people walk through the water and we kind of hesitated because they were wearing scandals and we were wearing gym shoes with socks. OH GROSS!!! haha but we went anyways, and we even dragged my little brother across to so my mom had no chioce but to walk through it to, which she wasnt to happy about.

So once we got to the waterfall it was so amazing, and the best part about it was that me and my sister climbed up the wall and climbed behind the waterfall. I never thought that I would be able to do something like that. I thought that was just something you only see in movies. But it was gorgeous, and I thought about how adorable it would be if someone was proposed to under thier or just asked out. It was quite the site

We were definately there all day and we even packed a bunch of snacks and sandwiches. The whole trip was a lot of fun and I think anyone could have fun going to a place like this. It was so relaxing and its not just your ordinary trails. It was a great time.

Hello! So yesterday evening I left for my cottage up in Buchanan, Michigan. We go up there a lot for the summer. We just recently rebuilt the cottage so we can up there in the winters. The weather was just beautiful, everyone was going swimming in the lake right outside our cottage.

Sometimes in the summer we do a lot of activities. We have the volley ball net, some tubbing, and most of all, bean bag games. My family is always having some kind of competition with the bean bag game. We didnt do any tubbing this weekend because my dad didnt have the boat up there, but we were able to go for a nice ride on the pontoon boat. Usually we take the pontoon boat all the way out to middle of the lake in the deep part and jump off the boat. This part of the lake has no seaweed, which I hate swimming in.

During the night it was really cold and I kept hearing frogs out on the lake. It was really hard to sleep. Not only that but I had to sleep on an air matress. Those are terrible to sleep on, they kill my back. We were going to go horseback riding today. That has always been fun, doing th etrail riding. But I have to work today at four so we had to make sure we were back in time for work. Overall the night was a lot of fun. We spent over an hour trying to hook up a dvd player to this old tv so we can watch a movie. By the time we got it working we couldnt get the movie to play, so we had to watch the previews twice. There was no remote. Then once we got the movie to play everyone fell asleep.

It only took about an hour to drive home, but that is because my boyfriend likes to speed, so the car ride home went by pretty fast. Now I have to go to work , hoping that it will be busy tonight, so I can make some money!
